Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings concerning Right View on Buddhist teachings
佛法知見
Though there are some splendid scenes of the Land of Bliss depicted in the Accounts of Amitabha-Recitation, they are regarded as a reference for beginners to have faith. We should not entirely worship or aspire to experience these scenes. They may vary with different people. For instance, each person sees Amitabha Buddha in the form that he uses to worship; so, it can be different. It is similar in the case of the Land of Bliss.
We should understand the Pure Land based on the Infinite Life Sutra, and the Commentary on the Treatise of Rebirth written by Master Tanluan. For the true understanding of the Land of Bliss, we must wait until we are born there. Other than that, don’t totally believe the general descriptions; but, believe those evidenced in the sutras spoken by the Buddha.
雖然在《感應錄》中有描述一些極樂淨土的勝境，但那些只可做為啟信的參考，不能完全去崇拜甚至盼望那種境界。而且境界是因人而異的，一般來說，各人所看到的阿彌陀佛往往也是他所供奉的，可見每個人看到的阿彌陀佛各不一樣，所以每一個人當下看到的淨土也會不一樣。
我們要了解淨土，應依據《無量壽經》以及曇鸞大師的《往生論註》。至於真的了解淨土，是必須到極樂世界之後，除此之外，一般所描述的都不能盡信，信要信聖言量。
Namo Amituofo!
